Hillsborough Transit Authority Board of Directors Meeting and

Public Hearing on the FY2018 Proposed Program of Projects June 4, 2018

1-1

BOARD ACTION ITEM Resolution #R2018-06-27 ~ Authorizing Approval of the Proposed Program of Projects (POP) and Applying for and Accepting all FY2018 Federal Transportation Funding

OVERVIEW Annually, HART receives federal funding through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) which is used for operating expenses and capital projects. A resolution from the HART Board is required to receive the funding. In addition, urbanized area formula (Section 5307) and bus formula programs (Section 5339) have special requirements related to identifying the specific list of projects to be reimbursed with the funding and obtaining public input on the projects.

FINANCIAL IMPACT This action will have a positive impact on HART budget. The Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (Section 5307) will reimburse preventive maintenance related expenses for fixed route and streetcar programs, assist with costs associated with the provision of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary paratransit service, and fund other capital investments. $135,339 of the formula funding will be allocated to meet the FTA requirement that 1% of the formula program be allocated to security related projects.

Additionally, the Bus and Bus Facilities Formula Program (Section 5339) and the State of Good Repair (Section 5337) provides funding to replace, rehabilitate and purchase bus and bus related equipment and facilities.

These Federal grants require a 20% local match which will be satisfied with Transportation Development Credits allowed through the Florida Department of Transportation.

BACKGROUND The Federal Register notice issued on May 7, 2018 announced the full year allocation of funding for the FY2018 formula programs. Formula program funds are made available to the Tampa/ St. Petersburg urbanized area. In urbanized areas with more than one transit system, the FTA apportionment for formula funds must be divided between the agencies by an interlocal agreement. The agreement between HART, Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA), Pasco County Public Transportation (PCPT) and Tampa Bay Regional Transportation Authority (TBARTA) for the distribution of the formula funds was approved on May 14, 2018. Grant applications will be submitted to FTA using the Transit Awards Management System (TrAMS). The formula programs are described below.

• Urbanized Area Formula Program (Section 5307)The Urbanized Area Formula Program (Section 5307) is the largest funding program, with thefunding allocated based on population, service, and density considerations. $30,130,401 wasmade available to the Tampa/St. Petersburg urbanized area for the Section 5307 program, withHART receiving $13,533,850. Section 5307 funding is the main federal source of transitcapital and eligible operating funds.

• Bus and Bus Facilities (Section 5339) This capital program provides funding to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment, and to construct bus-related facilities. The Section 5339 funds allocated to the urbanized area is $3,906,955, with HART receiving $1,758,737.

• State of Good Repair (Section 5337) This capital program provides funding to renovate or rehabilitate buses and related equipment, and bus-related facilities. The Section 5337 funds allocated to the urbanized area is $693,331, with HART receiving $591,090 for Fixed Guideway and $94,965 for High Intensity Motorbus tiers.

FTA requires that grantees funded under Section 5307 and Section 5339 develop a proposed POP and provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed POP (Attachment I). The listing includes the Section 5307 and 5339 projects that will be included in grant applications that will be submitted to FTA. NEXT STEPS Upon the Board’s approval, staff will submit applications for Section 5307, Section 5339, and Section 5337 funding to FTA for review and execution.

c. Resolution #R2018-05-23 ~ Authorize Staff to Conduct Public Outreach, Solicit Public Input, and Conduct a Public Hearing on a Proposal to Create Route 48 Serving the City of Temple Terrace

Jeff Seward, Interim Chief Executive Officer, explained that the Route 57 in Temple Terrace was eliminated during the major service overhaul Mission MAX. After speaking with the City of Temple Terrace staff, a HyperLINK zone was formed to cover the service area of the former Route 57. Mr. Seward stated that the HyperLINK pilot will be discontinued due to its high operating cost, and the new proposed route would cover this service area. He said this action item is a request to conduct a public outreach and a public hearing on the proposed route. Mr. Seward noted the tight timeline due to discontinuation of HyperLINK pilot at the end of July.


May 7, 2018

Phillip St. Pierre, Manager of Scheduling Services, presented the details on the proposed Route 48 including operation options and correlated funding. He stated that staff is also asking approval for the ICEO to execute a JPA with FDOT for the funding of this service. Chair Miller inquired if the Board could vote on both items 3c and 3f together. Mr. Smith answered affirmatively. Director Shanahan arrived at 1:34 p.m. Director Mechanik asked if item 3f is to secure funding for a route that will be identified after the public outreach. Mr. Seward clarified that the outreach will present the three options, all of which will be covered by the FDOT funding. Director Mechanik inquired if the specific option would be determined after the public hearing. Mr. Seward answered affirmatively. Director McClain asked if the public is made aware of the cost for the options or just outlines scheduling alternatives. Mr. St. Pierre stated that only the scheduling options are presented. Director McClain pointed out that the funding is not sufficient to cover the costs to operate the route through the end of FY2019. Mr. Seward stated that staff has this route built into the budget and while currently working on the FY2019 budget; it is a direction to staff to find funding for this service through the end of FY2019. Director McClain asked whether the Board will see the preliminary budget prior to implementation of the route. Mr. Seward stated that a draft budget will be presented at the May Finance and Audit Committee meeting. He noted that as with all previous preliminary budgets, a deficit will be presented that will be whittled down through the budget process. Director Williams inquired if the community is only selecting among the presented options or they can suggest their own alternatives. Mr. St. Pierre stated that the community will be selecting an option which staff will finalize for the Board’s review and approval. Director Williams clarified that the public only gets to vote on presented options and inquired if additional feedback will be recorded. Mr. St. Pierre confirmed that HART will solicit all feedback.

Director Shanahan apologized for being late and inquired if the Board has already voted on the action item awarding the contract with HART General Counsel. Chair Miller answered affirmatively. Director Shanahan pointed out the importance of letting the public know the costs associated with the service and that HART is retooling its system to be responsive to the demands of the public about this route. Director Shanahan inquired about the net increase recurring cost of the proposed route options. Mr. Seward answered around $700,000. Director Shanahan said staff should present this information, even though DOT is initially covering the cost, because it is important to talk about adding recurring cost. She noted the importance of being responsive to the public that rides the route or has demands in the decreasing public use of transportation. Director Murman moved and Director Kemp seconded a motion to approve items c and f. All Board Members present voted aye. The motion passed unanimously.

c. Resolution #R2018-05-23 ~ Authorize Staff to Conduct Public Outreach, Solicit Public Input, and Conduct a Public Hearing on a Proposal to Create Route 48 Serving the City of Temple Terrace

f. Resolution #R2018-05-26 ~ Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to Execute a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) Between the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to Utilize Commuter Development Program Funds for Route 48 Temple Terrace Implementation in FY18/FY19

Chair Miller recapped the action previously taken by the HART Board on the award of the contracts for General Counsel and Labor and Employment. Director Shanahan commented that she found the procurement process good and full-bodied. She encouraged the selected bidder to make sure that they are thinking about diversity, as the team that was introduced in the proposal was minimally diverse on every front. Director Shanahan stated that she felt that people need to be challenged this day and age; and should have diverse representation when they are dealing with public transit or any other agency. She commended Mr. Burns for a wonderful job getting a dynamic group of people to both observe, comment and judge the firms. Director Shanahan regretted that she was not able to share these observations with the HART Board of Directors before the vote. She stated that she notified staff about her late arrival at 1:30 p.m., as a result of a scheduling conflict, and was disappointed that staff did not relate this message to the Chair.

d. Resolution #R2018-05-24 ~ Authorize Staff to Conduct Public Outreach, Solicit Public Input, and Conduct a Public Hearing on a Proposal to Eliminate the Current Route 96 (Weekday In-Towner) and Route 97 (Saturday In-Towner)

Mr. Seward explained that the City of Tampa approached staff with the suggestion of redirecting the funding for the current In-Towner rubber-wheeled trolley to the Tampa Historic Streetcar. He stated that he is working with the City staff and the THS Board President English to start morning


May 7, 2018

commuting service to promote the streetcar as a viable commuter option. Mr. Seward commented that this should build ridership, which will be beneficial for the New Starts application for the streetcar extension. He further explained that with the discontinuation of the HyperLINK pilot, he has offered four Teslas for the Downtowner service for the duration of the lease. Mr. Seward indicated that HART will also facilitate the funding of the Downtowner and figure out a way to make that into a robust circulator to Davis Island, to Hyde Park, up to the Heights, up to Ybor. He added that connecting the downtown circulator to HART AV service would creating many synergies for the upcoming year; and the action item under consideration is a catalyst for all of these discussions. Director Kemp moved and Directors McClain and Harden seconded a motion to approve Resolution #R2018-05-24 ~ Authorize Staff to Conduct Public Outreach, Solicit Public Input, and Conduct a Public Hearing on a Proposal to Eliminate the Current Route 96 (Weekday In-Towner) and Route 97 (Saturday In-Towner). Director Murman asked Director Suarez if the Tampa City Council supports elimination of the In-Towner. Director Suarez answered that he supports the proposal due to poor ridership and use of this service. He observed that, regretfully, In-Towner has never become a part of the downtown transportation options. Director Mechanik supported the motion and commented that not only was the In-Towner underperforming, it competed with the Downtowner and streetcar service. He stated that the money should go to another system to enhance service and make it successful. Director Kemp strongly supported the proposal and expressed her appreciation for the City of Tampa’s support moving forward. She spoke in favor of a robust network of transit options that would make the most sense to serve the most people with the most efficiency. All Board Members present voted aye. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Miller asked for any objections to adjusting the agenda to have the Overview of Proposed Innovation District Transit Circulator presented before the action item. No board members objected. PRESENTATIONS Overview of Proposed Innovation District Transit Circulator Chris Cochran, Manager of Planning, presented a proposed circulator plan in the Innovation District through a public/private partnership. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected].

This presentation was in support of item 3e. e. Resolution #R2018-05-25 ~ Authorize the Interim Chief Executive Officer to Execute a Joint

Participation Agreement (JPA) for $270,000 Between the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the Tampa Innovation District’s Circulator Service


May 7, 2018

2-7

Mr. Seward noted the viability to replicate this model in other sections of the County. He emphasized that this service costs $800,000, of which HART is paying $175,000. Mr. Seward commented that this could be emulated in the downtown, Westshore, and Brandon areas, if it proves successful. He thanked Mr. Mark Sharpe for bringing this concept forward. Director Kemp moved and Director Murman seconded a motion to approve Resolution #R2018-05-25 ~ Authorize the Interim Chief Executive Officer to Execute a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) for $270,000 Between the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the Tampa Innovation District’s Circulator Service. Director Kemp stated that she thinks this is an excellent project and she is surprised that Westshore has not yet organized such service. She noted her appreciation of Mark Sharpe organizing, championing, and bringing this forward. Director Kemp complimented the blend with private support. She suggested that future presentations show an overlay of HART services with the circulator to demonstrate the connection. Mr. Seward stated that staff will provide those maps. He added that the circulator will not be successful if it does not connect to the spine of the HART network. He noted that Westshore is finalizing their circulator study right now and once it is done, he will be meeting with them to discuss the service options. Director Harden commented that this service is headed in a good direction and asked about the length of the commitment period. Mr. Seward assured that each commitment will be legally bound and multi-year. He stated that the contract will not be executed before the letters are received. Director Suarez inquired if HART vehicles will be used and how they will be wrapped. Mr. Seward stated that the service will be provided by contracted vehicles and all details will be defined in the RFP. Director Suarez pointed out unsuccessful circulator service in Westshore area in 2012-2013, and commented that Innovation District is a different area and he anticipates it be successful. All Board Members present voted aye. The motion passed unanimously.

Planning for Transit Oriented Development: Community Design and Value Capture Mr. Seward stated that over the next few years, staff will be looking extensively at multiple corridors, for example, with the streetcar extension, with the Florida/Fowler BRT study, and circulators. He commented that five years ago the HART Board had a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Committee, chaired by Councilmember Suarez. Mr. Seward indicated that it was the last time since the Board had the opportunity to get an overview of the importance of the economics of the decisions made while selecting corridors. Mr. Seward said he had conversations with a few Board members about the importance of economic development and ensuring that it is a part of the formula and the equation as we move forward with many of the studies and corridors, as well as conversations with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), that



May 7, 2018

2-8

emphasize the need to show reinvestment of the economic growth in the corridors for the New Starts and Small Starts programs. Mr. Seward reported that he envisions a quasi-speaker’s bureau for the Board members. Mr. Seward added that he plans to invite speakers to present to the Board about the importance of economic development, land use decisions, and overall TOD, as well as some practitioners throughout the country from various transit agencies who can share their successful experiences. Mr. Seward introduced Taryn E. Sabia, Ed.M., M. Arch, MUCD, Director, Florida Center for Community Design and Research from the University of South Florida (USF). Taryn E. Sabia, Ed.M., M. Arch, MUCD, Director, Florida Center for Community Design and Research, USF, presented on Transit Oriented Development (TOD) which creates walkable, compact, mixed-use communities near transit, providing people with easy access to jobs, services, and amenities. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Director Suarez spoke about the challenge of encouraging private investment. He stated that the value capture is not always a blighted area, and asked what was the best way to put value capture in place if public dollars wanted to go into it. Ms. Sabia answered that there is no state law currently exclusively for transit development, although that is something that could be put in place. She suggested utilizing existing CRAs as a mechanism to start and then move forward from there. Ms. Sabia added that some communities have used special services districts similar to what's in downtown Tampa as a mechanism; however, having a state law would be exceptional for moving Transit Oriented Development forward across all communities. Director Suarez noted that there has been discussion about TOD, especially with TBARTA, but unfortunately, not at the state level. He commented that there are numerous complaints about transit, but no help from the state legislature. Director Suarez said that taxes are not the only thing that is going to make a successful transportation system; it has to have economic development that is created by the private sector. He noted that very few that are willing to do anything that makes the rest of the community better by virtue of putting their own money into it. Director Suarez said that Cleveland BRT had the two largest hospital systems in the city as investors and lots of empty pieces of property which made it easier to bring in development and those factors are not easily transferrable. He stated that any suggestions are welcomed besides going to the legislature. Ms. Sabia concurred that Director Suarez raised a good point that the alignment becomes key with either existing development or redevelopment opportunities; and therefore, the alignment makes a difference and has an impact significantly on both the TOD and the transit ridership potential. Director Harden thanked Ms. Sabia for the presentation and asked how the opportunity zone provision in the 2018 tax law affects Hillsborough County. Ms. Sabia answered that aligning transit corridors within opportunity zones would capitalize on where development will want to go and urge it into a transit oriented area. Director Harden inquired if she studied how the opportunity zone census tracts align with the transit oriented development corridors that are designated identified in the 2040 comprehensive plan.



May 7, 2018

Ms. Sabia stated that they briefly studied some of the previous MPO plans, in particularly the one from 2007, and the future transportation plan and looked at all potential future corridors overlaid with the census tract areas that could be used as opportunity zones. She pointed out that being able to capitalize on it would connect us throughout the county, edge to edge and into the urban center. Director Shanahan stated that one unique advantage that Hillsborough County has is the complete redesign of Water Street with the private investment that was not previously there. She said she was optimistic that between the tax incentive, opportunity zones and investments to make downtown more walkable, HART will be in a leadership position to participate in the transportation side of the challenge. Director Shanahan commented that voters are going to decide and lead the way. She stated that this is prioritization of conversation because the voters understand that the world is going to change and HART should be at the forefront of this collaborative conversation to get more active private sector engagement along with educating the public on opportunities within the existing corridors. Director Kemp thanked Ms. Sabia for her presentation and noted that she thinks the opportunities downtown are well supported by the Water Street and Amature Works operation. She stated that walkable opportunities should be links with the most transit used corridors including USF to downtown and downtown to the airport through South Tampa. Director Kemp asked if Ms. Sabia was familiar with the TOD that happened in Orlando by converted CSX tracks. Ms. Sabia stated that SunRail has already seen economic development along the line. She noted that the service hit capacity within first two weeks and had to add more cars, frequency, and search for more areas for park and rides. Ms. Sabia commented that currently, there are not many walkable options; however, there are plans to create more Transit Oriented Developments around Sun Rail to have more walkable environments around some of the stations. Director Kemp stated that within two years of SunRail operation, FDOT reported two billion dollars in new revenue. She noted that every successful TOD BRT was at street level and requested that Ms. Sabia speak to the difference of having a system at grade as opposed to on an elevated highway. Ms. Sabia stated that elevated lanes take away the walkability aspect, because getting up to an elevated stationary, one can spent the entire five minutes due to the size and height of those areas. She commented that walkability leads to success, because it allows easy access and improves safety. Ms. Sabia noted another issue with elevated stations is the loss of the most valuable prime real estate to the highway infrastructure and off ramps. She further explained that people understand the negative health impacts of highways and do not want to live next to them. Ms. Sabia pointed out that studies show increase of heart disease by over 30% for those who live within 300 feet of an interstate. Director Kemp inquired if Ms. Sabia had ever heard of anything similar to highway oriented development. Ms. Sabia said she has not.

Director Kemp said she did not see how we can justify value capture with any kind of BRT project that would be on an elevated lane, trying to get investment and compete with grants that do have value capture and true Transit Oriented Development components in them. Ms. Sabia stated that looking at any infrastructure project when it comes to transportation, one should be looking at economic opportunity and return on investment not only in dollars, but also what we can offer in terms of community health impacts and affordable housing and looking at how all those things begin to fit together into the picture of the community. She concluded that to prosper, all public investments should be placed in areas that will generate the highest returns.

Influencer Outreach Mr. Seward said a year ago, the HART Board approved the contract with the marketing firm JonesWorley which have been instrumental in preparing HART for Mission MAX. He mentioned that as part of their original charge, they conducted an in-depth analysis within Hillsborough county about what is thought about transit and HART. Mr. Seward introduced Cynthia Jones Parks to present the overview of this analysis. Cynthia Jones Parks from JonesWorely, HART marketing and communications support team, gave a presentation on transit industry perspective, with an emphasis on influencer outreach and communications. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Ms. Jones Parks stated that one of the first tasks assigned to her firm was to create a strategic marketing and communications plan. She noted that as illustrated in the packet, there is now a very robust communications plan that staff can use to help communicate what the agency is doing and would like to do. Director Williams stated that HART being in the top ten percent of national agencies is impressive. She indicated that this presentation as well as the information shared during the APTA opening session she attended that morning, talked about communication awareness and holistically providing a plan to get the message out about many great things HART does. Director Shanahan asked what context was used to determine that HART was in the top ten. Ms. Jones Parks answered that the measurement is in unlinked trips, the number of people riding the system without transferring to another system. Director Kemp inquired if that was the only qualification. She stated that if that is the case, then there is still a lot of need in the county. Ms. Jones Parks stated that by only serving three percent of the population means that the agency can gain a lot of growth. She commented that HART is doing some really great things and has the opportunity to tell a bigger, broader, and more connected story.

GENERAL COUNSEL’S REPORT a. Interim Chief Executive Officer Performance Evaluation

Mr. Smith thanked the Board for the vote of confidence awarding again the contract for General Counsel to the firm of GrayRobinson that he represents. He added that the firm completely embraces the objective of diversity that Director Shanahan emphasized. Mr. Smith mentioned that his co-presenter Ms. Julia Mandel, was not with the firm at the time of the submission of the proposal. Mr. Smith referred the Board members to Section 4, page 1 of their packets and reviewed the summary of the performance evaluation ratings. Mr. Smith indicated that the rating details are available upon request. Director Mechanik left at 3:00 p.m. Director Shanahan inquired how the non-responsive reviews were treated. Mr. Smith answered that those who did not answered were not counted so that it did not raise or lower the score. Director Shanahan asked if the reason for non- responsiveness was known. Director Knight stated that he did not submit a review because of his short tenue on the HART Board. Director Murman explained that her overall rating was the lowest and that the performance of a CEO is different than that of a CFO. She stated her strong opinion that the Agency should go out with an executive search. Director Murman commented that HART is about to explode with new partnerships, funding and many others that will help the community and the residents. She pointed out that Mr. Seward may be the top candidate as a result of a national search. Director Shanahan said she supports the notion of promoting from within or giving different opportunities within the organization. She stated that while Mr. Seward has done some things really well, there is a missing understanding of what is happening externally and how that affects internally in a real-time responsiveness rate. Director Shanahan said she spoke with a lot of people within the Agency, and their comments affected her rating. She stated that the Agency deserves the opportunity to see if Mr. Seward raises to the occasion given competition in terms of serving the challenges facing HART. Director Shanahan commented that the opportunities in the region continue to increase the impact and effect on the very dynamic community the Agency services. She stated her opinion that a decision made at a Board meeting she did not attend caused a perception to the press that the Board was not supportive of a community project on any level. She noted that the Board should have been guided to maintaining a stance in the project to continue to be part of the public connectivity and input. Director Shanahan suggested that the Agency needs to be more strategic about engagement with some federal and state opportunities. Chair Miller stated that he has not received any comments that affected his rating of Mr. Seward’s performance, and that he evaluated him on the possibilities that could be accomplished if he was made CEO and what has been done in the short period that he has been ICEO. He commented that

hiring someone externally would put the Agency several years behind, because the new person would have to learn the politics within and surrounding Hillsborough County. Chair Miller pointed out that there is a person sitting in the position that can do the work and can be directed in a way that the Board wants. He stated his support in voting Mr. Seward HART CEO. Director Kemp commented that her score reflected a new direction that she has observed, increase in the level of communication from ICEO, and her opinion about Mr. Seward’s leadership. She agreed with Chair Miller about challenges presented for an external candidate learning the complicated politics. Director Murman spoke about unsuccessful application for funding for the regional fare collection project that has been sought from the state. She suggested that this discussion continue with more Board members present at the next meeting. Director Shanahan stated her appreciation for the role that Mr. Seward has stepped into. She commented that from a private sector perspective, it is about right person, right seat, and right time. Director Shanahan noted that when making decision, the Board needs to take into account HART’s priorities and the skillset available in the Agency. She stated her hope that the Board would vote to have a competitive review of the current marketplace to help get the Agency where it wants to be. She agreed with Director Murman that more members of the Board should be present to make a decision. Director Knight stated that in his short time on the Board, he has some concerns about the employees, the community involvement, and the ridership. He commented that he would like to see how the recent changes match up with the vision of the Agency. Director Knight noted that he would like to know Mr. Seward’s willingness to do the job and his vision for HART offering cutting edge solution for all great things happening in Tampa. Director McClain left at 3:16 p.m. INTERIM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT Mr. Seward introduced Vanessa Brooks, Director of Communications and Marketing. He noted that she has been instrumental in preparing staff for the APTA conference. Mr. Seward introduced Jerry Presley, Senior Manager of Government & Business Relations. He noted that Mr. Presley will be instrumental as the Agency begins the work on circulator agreements. Autonomous Vehicle Project RFP Mr. Seward stated that the solicitation was released the previous Friday. Small Starts Mr. Seward stated that the City of Tampa has issued a letter to the FTA with intent to apply for Small Starts program for the streetcar extension. He noted that staff will be taking the FTA and the City officials on a tour of the streetcar extension corridor.

Letter of Commitment Mr. Seward stated that the F&A Committee members voted to recommend that the full Board of Directors approve sensing the letter of commitment to the University CDC for their Community Action Plan. He stated that HART would partner and help facilitate the program. Regional Transit Feasibility Plan Mr. Seward stated that he has received a letter from Jacobs Engineering addressing the change in project management as a result of Mr. Scott Pringle’s departure from the firm. He stated that he has a second letter from Director Kemp to Jacobs Engineering with questions about the study and they are preparing a response. CHAIR’S REPORT Chair Miller had no report. HART BOARD COMMITTEE REPORTS Chair Miller referred the Board members to the materials in the packet. REPORTS FROM HART BOARD REPRESENTATIVES Chair Miller referred the Board members to the materials in the packet. STATUS REPORTS Chair Miller referred the Board members to the materials in the packet. PUBLIC INPUT Janice Butler stated that she appreciated the meeting and thought it was very informative and interesting. She expressed her gratitude in the recent upgrade to the bus stop near her home to concrete placement with seats because she had trouble finding the stop before. Ms. Butler noted that it is now easier for her guide dog to find the seat at the bus stop. Director Suarez left at 3:20 p.m. GaryLee Gertz stated that he has previously contacted customer service about this issue. He noted that when a bus pulls to the Brandon Mall stop, it is unclear whether patrons can get on the bus or if it is just dropping patrons off. Mr. Gertz commented that people waiting get up from shaded areas and gather their stuff to prepare to board the bus in the heat; however, boarding would not be allowed, which causes frustration. He further stated that the covered area at the Brandon mall is small for the amount of people who use the bus stop. Mr. Gertz also asked for a non-smoking section of the bus stop as. Marion Gwizdala stated that past several leaderships have not met with blind consumers even when contacted, but Mr. Seward contacted the National Federation for the Blind and set up a meeting within two weeks from his appointment as ICEO. He commented that he does not understand why routes go up Tampa Street rather than Marion Street which is more walkable. Mr. Gwizdala stated that the buses at the Brandon mall are not connecting because buses pull up at the top of the hour when other buses are scheduled to depart. He noted that it take his wife an hour to get to work five miles away. He asked that staff look at the departure times and adjust for traffic,

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Authorizing the Interim Chief Executive Officer to Apply for and Accept Fiscal Year 2018 Surface Transportation Block Grant Program Funding

OVERVIEW HART has received notice of a grant award that must be considered and approved by the Board of Directors through resolution before final execution by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA).

RECOMMENDATION That the Finance and Audit Committee review the action item authorizing the Interim Chief Executive Officer to apply for and accept Fiscal Year 2018 Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) Program Funding, and advance this item to the full HART Board of Directors at the June 4, 2018 regular Board meeting for consideration and approval through resolution.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

This action will have a positive impact on HART budget. The Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) Program funding, in the amount of $6,300,000, will be used to purchase new and/or rolling stock and bus related equipment. As this grant was announced prior to the FY2018 budget adoption, the entire amount was included in the FY2018 adopted capital budget and no budget amendment is required. This grant requires a 20% match that will be satisfied with a soft match of Transportation Development Credits authorized by the Florida Department of Transportation.

BACKGROUND The FAST Act of 2015 converted the long-standing Surface Transportation Program (STP) into the STBG Program. The funding is apportioned by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is administered by the FTA.

NEXT STEPS Present recommendation by the Finance and Audit Committee to the full HART Board of Directors at the June 4, 2018 regular Board meeting.

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Authorize the Interim Chief Executive Officer to Award a One-Year Base with Two One-Year Options Contract for Consulting and Broker Services Health Insurance and Benefits Programs to Arthur J. Gallagher Benefits Services, Inc. in an Amount Not-to-Exceed $315,000

OVERVIEW HART requires the services of a Benefits Broker to assist in management of HART benefits program.

RECOMMENDATION That the Finance and Audit Committee authorize the Interim Chief Executive Officer to award a one-year base with two one-year options contract for consulting and broker services health insurance and benefits programs to Arthur J. Gallagher Benefits Services, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $315,000; and advance this item to the full HART Board of Directors at the June 4, 2018 regular Board of Directors meeting.

FINANCIAL IMPACT Funding for these services is budgeted from general revenues as appropriated in the FY2018 operating budget.

BACKGROUND HART provides health, dental, vision and other insurance services to its employees and their dependents. The Benefits Broker is actively involved in the management of the Agency’s benefits program. The Broker, through their expertise and resources, ensures HART has the most competitive employee benefits program by focusing on: strategy, benchmarking, and best practices, reporting and analytics (budget and utilization), complete underwriting and actuarial guidance, management of HART benefits vendors, compliance, wellness strategies, communication and education, and plan management and administration.

These services are imperative whether HART is fully-insured or self-insured. The Broker provides data through the actuarial and underwriters, to ensure HART has the most completive benefits program. HART staff does not have the tools, resources or expertise to achieve this, and would rely solely on the provider. The previous contract for the Broker Services was terminated due to the vendor’s failure to perform at the level required by HART.

PROCUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS On February 14, 2018, HART issued RFP-29274 for Consulting and Broker Services Health Insurance and Benefits Programs in compliance with HART procurement policies. This solicitation allowed the opportunity for both HART and PSTA to select separate contractors. The solicitation appeared on HART website and DemandStar with direct notices sent to 24 firms. The solicitation was accessed from the HART website by 22 firms and/or individuals and from DemandStar by 15 firms and/or individuals. There were 37 downloads of this solicitation. HART received four responsive proposals by the deadline of April 3, 2018 at 2:00 p.m.



3-10

Three members of HART Human Resources evaluated the technical components of the proposal in accordance with the solicitation provisions. The committee awarded technical points using the following guide:

• Qualifications of the Firm/Team 150

• Qualifications of the Staff 150

• Current Client Carriers 100

• Work Plan 300

The offeror with the lowest price received 300 price points. Other offerors received a percentage of the 300 points based on comparison to the lowest price.

Following the Evaluation Committee meeting on May 1, 2018, to discuss independent evaluation findings and provide an opportunity for rescoring of proposals based upon discussion of findings by the group, it was decided that Arthur J. Gallagher Benefits Services be recommended for award of the contract.

HART scored the four proposals as follows:

COMMITTEE ACTION ITEM Authorize the Interim Chief Executive Officer to Award a Contract for the Design of the 21st Avenue Heavy Maintenance Building to Bandes Construction, for $2,884,563 plus a Contingency of $403,860 for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $3,288,423 for a Two Year Period OVERVIEW The purpose of this contract is to design a New Heavy Maintenance Facility to replace the existing maintenance building located at 4305 E. 21st Avenue. The project will consist of a service area with bus lifts and other heavy maintenance equipment, stormwater treatment, canopied fuel island, wash facility, restrooms, breakrooms, electronic shop, classrooms, maintenance offices and support area. This design will include the stormwater improvements, identified in the recent comprehensive drainage study, to correct the major flooding events on site. RECOMMENDATION That the Finance and Audit Committee review the action item authorizing the Interim Chief Executive Officer to award a contract for the design of the 21st Avenue Heavy Maintenance Building to Bandes Construction, for $2,884,563 plus a contingency of $403,860 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $3,288,423 for a two year period, and advance this document to the full HART Board of Directors at the June 4, 2018 regular Board meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funding for this design contract is through an FY14 FTA State of Good Repair grant, FL-04-0167, and is currently appropriated in the HART FY18 capital budget. BACKGROUND During the Go Hillsborough process, it became evident that HART could not engage in any significant expansion of service without providing for either expansion of the current 21st avenue facility or to seek additional space outside of the current facility. The current Heavy Maintenance facility is almost 40 years old and no longer serves the functional requirements of HART, it also no longer meets current building code requirements for wind loading, accessibility, mechanical and ventilation, and other structural elements essential for building support. The site experienced severe flooding during heavy rain events. Several of the bus inspection pits have been closed due to environmental reasons and the structure is such that very significant upgrades would be required just to add additional mechanical equipment. Additionally, the entire roof is in need of replacing. Taken together, the cost to upgrade the facility is greater than replacing it with a new facility. This funding request would support the design and construction of a new facility and provide a HART maintenance building with a 40-year useful life expectancy to maintain its fleet operations. On June 19, 2017, staff presented to the Finance and Audit Committee to answer the questions regarding the facility footprint, requirements, location, basic layout, and cost. The Committee members were informed that when HART was receiving bids to renovate, an unsolicited bid to replace the facility was received. Staff reported that they have been exploring whether



3-15

renovating or replacing is the better investment for the federal funding and that it was determined that the replacement would be a fantastic opportunity to solve the current issues with the building. The new facility would not add capacity; however, it would solve the shortfalls of the current heavy maintenance facility in terms of ADA compliance, CNG implementation, safety, and opportunities for employees to repair and work on the buses. On November 13, staff further discussed renovation of the old 21st Avenue Operations and Maintenance facility versus construction of the new facility option at the F&A Committee. The following steps were identified: confirm funding sources, complete NEPA process, complete pre-design requirements, modify grant from rehabilitate/renovate to new construction, negotiate design build contract. PROCUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS On February 14, 2017, HART released RFP-23892CG Heavy Maintenance Building Design/Build Project. In accordance with HART procurement policy, all federally required clauses were included in the solicitation. The solicitation posted on HART’s website and DemandStar with direct notices sent to 229 vendors that could provide the services. One-hundred twenty-two (122) vendors and/or individuals downloaded the solicitation. HART received two proposals by the April 13, 2017 11:00 a.m. deadline. Both proposals were responsive to the solicitation requirements. An evaluation committee of three HART staff evaluated the technical components of the proposals. The consulting firm of Ayres and Associates provided input as Subject Matter Experts during the evaluation process but they did not score the proposals. Evaluation criteria included:

RANKINGS 2 1 Bandes proposed a Value Engineering (VE) Option of the construction of a new facility versus moving forward with the renovation of the existing facility. In discussions with Bandes, HART learned that there are numerous facility concerns including safety; ergonomics; building age; operational efficiency; inadequate lighting; environmental impacts including asbestos, lead base paint, and storm water pollution. There is also structural; mechanical ventilation as well as numerous code issues including violations of the International Building Code, International Energy Conservation Code, International Mechanical Code and Florida Structural Building Code. The existing building is also noncompliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Bandes Construction VE Option shows that it is much more advantageous to HART to construct a new facility. A new facility would address all concerns and provide HART with a new building that would have a 40 year estimated life span versus the renovation of a 37-year old trucking facility that would only extend its useful life five to ten years. The HART executive team, after presented with the option of a new building, agreed that it is in HART best interest to move forward with a new building. The evaluation committee recommends that HART enter into negotiations with Bandes Construction, Inc. to construct the new building in phases with Phase 1 being the design portion of the project. In addition to the technical evaluation and price review and negotiations, a responsibility review conducted of Bandes Construction Company found Bandes Construction Company, Inc. to be a responsible vendor. In addition, they have adequately demonstrated that they have the capacity and ability to perform the work and are, therefore, eligible and recommended for award.

GENERAL COUNSEL’S REPORT HART Interim Chief Executive Officer’s Performance Evaluation

OVERVIEW Performance appraisal provides an opportunity for each Board member of the Hillsborough Transit Authority (HART) to formally review, document, and recognize accomplishments for the Interim Chief Executive Officer (ICEO).

BACKGROUND HART entered into agreement with Mr. Seward on December 5, 2017. On January 8, 2018, the HART Board of Directors voted to extend the term of this employment agreement until November 30, 2018.

At the regular April Board meeting, the Board voted to conduct a performance review for Jeffrey C. Seward, and report results at the May 7 Board meeting. The Board members completed the performance appraisal form for the performance review period from January 2018 through April 2018.

DISCUSSION Rating Criteria & Explanation The evaluation form rates employee performance in eight different work trait areas, and gives the option of entering comments related to each category. These comments may include responses to specific questions and any observations you believe appropriate and pertinent to the rating period. Separately, space was provided for an optional narrative evaluation, the opportunity to provide additional feedback. Each work trait has a rating range from “1” to “4” points. Each work trait is described and a rating explanation is given on the evaluation form; the following criterion determines each rating level:

1 = Unacceptable Performance The incumbent does not meet the performance expectations and/or demonstrates an unacceptably poor level of competency in the evaluation area. Significant improvement in the short-term is required. This rating describes the employee whose performance consistently is below expectations. The employee may actually be doing things that negatively affect others’ performance or put HART at risk.

2 = Needs Improvement: The incumbent demonstrates only a moderate level of proficiency in the required competency. Additional training or commitment is required. This rating describes the employee who meets only the minimum position requirements and whose performance needs improvement through development, experience and/or application.

3 =Meets Expectations: The incumbent generally meets performance expectations while demonstrating proficiency in the required competency. This rating describes the employee whose overall performance is good but still has room for growth.

ATTACHMENT III

5-12


May 7, 2018

4 = Exceeds Expectations: The incumbent exceeds performance expectations while demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the required competency. This rating describes the employee who has surpassed expected results in a substantial manner on the objective. 5 = Outstanding Performance: The incumbent far exceeded expected results on the objective such that the organizational goals were achieved that otherwise would not have been. This rating is used as recognition for extraordinary accomplishments that have significant impact on the organization, meet or exceed expectations in spite of unusually challenging circumstances, or created results that pave the way for others and/or are used as a model.

The average ratings for Interim Chief Executive Officer per Performance Dimension are listed below:

1 Professional Skills and Status 2 Relations with Board Members 3 Policy Execution 4 Communication 5 Citizen Relations 6 Communication 7 Supervision and Leadership 8 Fiscal Management 9 Intergovernmental / Community Relations

Summary of the ratings Staff received nine completed evaluation forms. Directors Knight and White abstained from the ICEO performance evaluation.

Director Donohue – 4.31 Director Harden – 3.84 Director Kemp – 5.0 Director McClain – 3.43 Director Mechanik – 4.95 Director Melendez – 4.68 Director Miller – 4.88 Director Murman – 2.86 Director Shanahan – 2.92 Director Suarez – 4.09

BOARD ACTION ITEM Resolution #R2017-12-55~ Authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to Award a Contract for Executive Search & Recruitment Services to Krauthamer & Associates in an Amount Not to Exceed $200,000.00 (Five Year Contractual Period: Three -Year Base with Two One-Year Options)

OVERVIEW With the departure of the current CEO, HART is in need of an experienced executive search and recruitment firm.

FINANCIAL IMPACT Funding for this contract is HART general revenues, as appropriated in the FY2018 and future HART operating budget.

PROCUREMENT CONSIDERATION HART Executive Committee met on Tuesday, November 28, to discuss the CEO search and transition strategies. The Executive Committee voted unanimously to approve staff’s recommendation to utilize the PSTA executive search contract, pending its approval at December 6 PSTA Board meeting. This contract has language that allows HART to participate.

Following direction by the Executive Committee, the Procurement department formed an evaluation committee to review the proposals from the PSTA executive search solicitation that had prior national CEO search experience. The selected firms were KL2 and Krauthamer & Associates. The same evaluation criteria that was used in the initial solicitation was also used in the evaluation of the aforementioned firms.

The proposals were evaluated by an evaluation committee of three members from HART: Brooke Basquit, Director of Human Resources & EEO Officer, Greg Brackin, Director of Operations Support-ADA Officer, and Lena Petit, Director of Executive Office & Board Support. The evaluation criteria specified below was used to identify the most qualified firm to perform the services.

Evaluation factors were weighted 700 points for technical and 300 points for pricing for a total of 1,000 points as follows:

• Firm and Staff Qualifications 400 • Management Plan and Schedule 300 • Price 300

The evaluation committee met on November 30, 2017, to discuss its findings and potentially rescore the proposals based upon discussion of findings by the group. Scores for the firms were as follows:

RANKINGS 1 2

Prices for this service is at a fixed flat fee, plus expenses with no additional markup.

Based on the fact that Krauthamer & Associates has a technical superior score of over 50 points, staff feels it is in the best interest of the Authority to award this contract to Krauthamer & Associates.

NEXT STEPS Upon the Board of Directors’ approval of this action item, staff will enter into the contract with Krauthamer & Associates.

PSTA may have current and future needs for recruiting services that will conduct

national searches for the most qualified individuals to fill various positions.

On August 11, 2017 a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued in compliance with

PSTA’s procurement policies. The solicitation was posted on PSTA’s website and

DemandStar with direct notices sent to PSTA’s supplier list.

The term of the contract shall be for three years from award of contract, with two

one-year options not to exceed five years.

On September 19, 2017 seven proposals were received.

o Proposed Fee (300 points)

The Evaluation Committee met on October 26, 2017 to discuss its evaluation findings

and was provided an opportunity for rescoring proposals based upon discussion of

findings by the Committee.

All proposals were deemed responsive and prices considered fair and reasonable.

A responsibility review was conducted on each of the seven firms.

The contracts do not guarantee any amount of work or expenses. Anytime PSTA

needs a professional recruiting service, a task order will be issued based on the

5-18

firms’ expertise and agreed upon pricing.

Fiscal Impact:

Recruitments are conducted on an as‐needed basis with the recruitment cost usually

offset by the salary vacancy savings for the recruited position. In addition an

estimate for recruiting costs is included in the annual operating budget.

plus two additional option years at the direction of the PSTA CEO with Board

PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEMS (3 MINUTES PER SPEAKER) No one signed up to speak. PRESENTATION Fiscal Year 2019 Budget Process Overview

Jeff Seward, Interim Chief Executive Officer, gave the tentative operating budget overview highlighting different drivers and pressures for Fiscal Year 2019. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Chair Melendez reconfirmed that not all grants are unknown and unpredictable. Mr. Seward indicated that the County has embarked on their FY2019 budget development process, and HART would not know about the County funding subsidy until they are finished with the process. He stated that the current deficit of $4.3 million is manageable as it provides service, a strong foundation for HART employees, and allows innovative services and solutions to move forward; however, he will work with staff on reducing the deficit in anticipation of HART not receiving County funding. Mr. Seward added that HART will be looking at the service change in December 2017 and potentially rolling the service back. He said for planning purposes and transparency, staff is currently budgeting at the levels without the additional County funding and without the service that was predicated on this funding. Mr. Seward reported that HART and County staff are working on refining the funding availability, including the $350,000 of capital funding for HART that was specifically allocated to support the HyperLINK project, which will be discontinued this summer. He pointed out that this capital funding is reoccurring and staff is working on a list of what this money can be used for. Committee member White emphasized that the $2.3 million in County funding allocated in FY2018 is not a pure formality and needs to be fought for moving forward. He confirmed that the County is going through a preliminary budget process looking at all variables. Mr. Seward stated that HART, similar to all state property tax-funded organizations, is preparing the FY2019 budget with FY2020 in mind. He added that it would be easier to hold this funding back now in preparation to a more intense discussion in 2020. Mr. Seward announced the budget approval schedule. He said this year, staff will schedule a dry run through with the F&A Committee prior to the budget public hearings to receive the Committee members’ feedback. Mr. Seward pointed out that FTA mandated all federally-funded agencies to develop transit assets management system, including their useful life and the state of good repair schedule. HART has completed this process, and determined that the current state of good repair deficit equals $55 million. Mr. Seward noted that HART will need to strategize on how to address it in the course of next five to ten years. He indicated that without fixing the infrastructure, buying buses and ensuring that all assets are in the state of good repair, it will be challenging to keep adding service. Mr. Seward stated that the Board members will start seeing the plans to address this deficit in capital needs. Committee member Harden inquired if staff plans to approach the CRAs this year for additional contribution towards the early morning service for the streetcar, in addition to the free Saturday



May 21, 2018

service. He pointed out that the ridership reports show the overall decrease in ridership, even taking into consideration the increase in Saturday ridership contributed to free rides. Mr. Seward said staff is planning to work hard building an early morning service that matters for the streetcar to be a viable commuter option. He added that staff will be approaching the CRAs with a package of options. Committee member Harden inquired if the funds currently supporting the In-Towner will be moved to enhancement of the streetcar service. Mr. Seward responded affirmatively. Committee member Harden indicated that the County has a service parallel to HART paratransit mode. He asked whether HART staff had conversations with the County about analyzing the services and looking for efficiencies. Mr. Seward responded that after the April Board meeting, staff made a commitment to meet with the County staff. He added that they met once and are now researching the ways to collaborate. Mr. Seward announced that HART has a solicitation released for the paratransit audit. Mr. Seward said that in July, the HART Board will receive a presentation from HART and Sunshine LINE staff about the service components that are unique for each program and those that could be revised for efficiencies. Mr. Greg Brackin, Director of Operations Support-ADA Officer, reported that an RFP is now released, with the solicitation process closing within the next 20 days. Committee member Harden asked if the construction of the new HM facility is in the $55 million capital needs. Mr. Seward responded that the cost of HM facility is not a part of this deficit. Committee Chair Melendez said he appreciated the fiscal responsibility and proactive approach in the development of the FY2019 budget. COMMITTEE ACTION ITEMS

c. Authorize the Interim Chief Executive Officer to Award a Contract for the Design of the 21st Avenue Heavy Maintenance Building to Bandes Construction, for $2,884,563.00 Plus a Contingency of $403,860.00 for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $3,288,423.00 for a Two Year Period

Lynda Crescentini, Interim Director of Enterprise Project Management, introduced Bandes Construction team, design team of Wendel and, financial consulting staff from Clary Consulting. Ms. Jillian Bandes, Bandes Construction, gave an overview of the design project of the HART HM building. A full copy of the presentation is available upon request from the Clerk of the Board at [email protected]. Committee member White inquired how the cost of this design proposal compares to acquisition of a new site and building a facility. Ms. Bandes responded that HART’s existing infrastructure is at the existing location, while the cost for a new site could be significant, given the land prices and central location of the 21st Avenue campus. Committee member White inquired about the level of confidence that the storm water issue will be mitigated. Ms. Bandes commented that the storm water issue is of a big concern. She added that HART staff and Bandes Construction had extensive meetings with the City of Tampa and FDOT representatives. Ms. Bandes explained that a part of the request in this design contract is to continue the conversations and identify a feasible solution that meets everyone’s needs. She pointed out that the storm water issue is geographical that happens throughout the basin and the entire geographical area along the I-4. Committee member White asked if HART approached the County Administration to see if there is land on the surplus list that they will be willing to work on with HART. Mr. Seward indicated that staff feels strongly in favor of maintaining the current site due to the amount of federal investment at this site. He said there is a multimillion dollar CNG facility that the federal government paid for, diesel fueling stations and a tank; and building a new facility at the higher elevation level would allow for all the assets to stay intact without moving to another site. Mr. Seward said that HART has been aggressively addressing the storm water issue, and already saw a decrease in flooding over the last two years. He mentioned that staff is confident that investment in the vertical construction, addressing the storm water issue, and demolition of the old facility would strengthen the federal investment on the site. It would be cost prohibitive to move to another location, taking into consideration relocation of the CNG station and the fact that

the administrative facility has been recently renovated. He stated that staff was confident that the proposed solution is the most cost-effective. Committee member White inquired about the FEMA flood zone classification of the current site. Ms. Bandes said she was not sure. Committee member White asked how confident Bandes Construction was that the flooding issue will be addressed. Ms. Bandes said that her team had a lot of confidence that the issue will be resolved. She indicated that it was a tandem deal, one cannot upgrade the facility without improving the site. Committee Chair Melendez requested to have renderings of the building presented to the full Board of Directors. He suggested bringing the history of the overall storm water issue to the full Board as well, due to the $7 million jump in the project cost. Ms. Crescentini explained that there was only funding for preliminary investigation and design, not construction. Ms. Bandes added that the first report analyzed where the water was flowing and collecting, the second report analyzed what to do with it. Committee member Harden suggested that the full Board should receive more breakdown on project elements costs, and what the design includes. Committee member Donohue moved and Committee member Harden seconded advancement of this item to the full Board of Directors at the June 4, 2018 regular Board meeting. All Finance and Audit Committee members present voted aye. The motion passed unanimously.

as a positive trend as compared to the national numbers in the current environment. He supported the initiatives proposed by staff moving forward. Committee Chair Melendez indicated that there was discussion at the last regular Board meeting that he missed regarding Mr. Seward’s leadership. Committee Chair Melendez said he hoped that at the upcoming June meeting, he would express his thoughts on Mr. Seward’s background and the importance of such financial perspective in a CEO.

CONSENT AGENDA

A. Approval of Minutes – April 3, 2018 B. Committee Appointments D. FY17-FY18 Unified Planning Work Program Amendment for Funding Deobligation and FHWA Resilience & Durability Grant

A motion was made by Commissioner Stacy White to remove item IV. C. Health in All Policies Resolution for a separate discussion and vote. The motion was seconded by Councilman Harry Cohen and carried unanimously.

A motion was made by Commissioner Sandra Murman to approve the Consent Agenda. The motion was seconded by Councilman Cohen and carried unanimously.

ROLL-CALL VOTE: TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) AMENDMENT FOR FHWA RESILIENCE & DURABILITY GRANT

A motion was made by Commissioner Murman to approve the Resilience and Durability Pilot Project Grant for inclusion in the TIP. The motion was seconded by Councilman Cohen. Following a rollcall vote, the motion passed unanimously. (Note: Councilman Maniscalco, Councilman Viera, Mr. David Mechanik, and Ms. Cindy Stuart were absent)

GUEST SPEAKER, FDOT DISTRICT 7 SECRETARY DAVID GWYNN: QUARTERLY UPDATE

Secretary David Gwynn provided an update on Tampa Bay Next. It has been one year since the process began, and there have been eighty-three community events, twenty community working groups/open houses, seventy-six presentations, and five newsletters with 3,880 active subscribers. Information has been generated based on community input and stakeholders. With the input received, they have removed express lanes from being considered on I-275 north of Downtown, and moved the express lane corridor to I-75. They also have reduced the potential right-of-way impacts of the downtown interchange reconstruction from 170-190 parcels being affected to as few as 30.

On transit, FDOT is not pushing any particular transportation alternative but is awaiting direction from TBARTA, whose role is regional transit. Last year the Tampa Bay Transportation Management Area (TMA) Leadership Group tasked Jacobs Engineering to come up with a regional catalyst project that would be a good candidate for federal funds. FDOT too wants to ensure that any transit project is viable before moving forward with funding. If local support and local funding are present, they are ready to partner. With resolutions and prioritization from Pasco MPO, Pinellas MPO, and Hillsborough MPO, as well as the County Commissions, the region would be in a better position to compete for federal funds. If federal funding is not sought, then that will open other doors; however, that would increase the amount of money that the state and local governments would have to contribute.

FDOT is not opposed to approaching CSX, but they do not feel that it is not the right time for them to get involved in discussion. If there was a project and a funding plan in place, then they would be ready.

Following the update, members inquired about the I-275/SR 60 interchange bottleneck “punch-through” project’s effect on the airport (response: a lot of traffic should be freed up); reinforcing the shoulders of the interstate (response: willing to look at this, even though it is not funded through the statewide emergency evacuation plan); interchange at Big Bend Road - ramp improvements (response: new ramp improvements are a high priority); whether or not transit “spine” projects are part of the regional plan or a local project (response: if it connects, it’s part of the regional system); and a problem with items falling off of trucks on I-75 (response: working with Florida Highway Patrol for increased maintenance).


ACTION ITEMS

A. Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Request to Board

Mr. Patrick Thorpe, Chair of the BPAC, presented a request from the committee to meet with two volunteer MPO Board members, once annually in a workshop format during a regular BPAC meeting in order to develop and inform a continuing narrative that can become actionable items on the MPO agenda to improve the health, safety & welfare of the community, provide real choices when not driving, and prevent inequity in mobility options across our region. The annual workshop is usually held in July. There were no questions following the presentation.

A motion was made by Commissioner Murman for designation of MPO Board members to attend the annual BPAC workshop. The motion was seconded by Mayor Mel Jurado and passed unanimously.

B. FY19-FY20 Unified Planning Work Program Draft

Ms. Allison Yeh highlighted information on the biennial update and discussed what has taken place the last two years. A major focus in the next two years is updating the Long Range Transportation Plan, along with assisting some governments and agencies with planning studies they have requested. Another required activity is to coordinate regional performance measure target-setting.

A motion was made by Commissioner Murman to approve the FY19-FY20 UPWP document. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kemp and passed unanimously.

C. MPO/FDOT Joint Certification

Mr. Rich Clarendon, MPO Assistant Executive Director, summarized notable achievements and recommendations of the annual review, in which the MPO’s planning process is certified as following federal and state rules through a cooperative review conducted by the FDOT District 7 office and MPO staff. There were no corrective actions noted.

A motion was made by Commissioner Murman to support re-certification of the MPO and authorization for the MPO Chairman to sign the Joint Certification Statement. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kemp and passed unanimously.

D. Letter of Comment on Regional Transit Feasibility Plan

Ms. Beth Alden, MPO Executive Director, presented the letter of Comment on the Regional Transit Feasibility Plan. The Plan is currently in a public comment phase.

Commissioner White stated that he is not opposed to sending the letter but feels that some of the issues posed in the letter are premature. On April 18th, the BOCC requested County staff to work with CUTR to convene a panel of experts to review the Plan. He sees value in postponing the letter until substantial information has been received from the panel; which will be early August.

Commissioner White made a motion to postpone action on the letter of comment on the Regional Transit Feasibility Plan until the August MPO Board meeting, or such time as the information from the panel would be available. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Murman. Following the discussion described below, the motion passed unanimously.

Commissioner Kemp stated she supports the motion and finds the letter disturbing. She has written her own letter and provided copies to board members.


Commissioner Murman stated she brought up the peer review panel under future issues at the Board of County Commissioners’ meeting. Since the review has not taken place, she feels the letter is premature. She suggested staff have TBARTA present information on their role to the MPO Board.

Councilman Cohen stated he supports the motion, however, he is concerned that waiting until August may be too long. He also stated that the group needs to work together and figure out what should be communicated to the TMA, since that group is awaiting a response from Hillsborough County to determine how to move forward. He stated that comments from Secretary Gwynn this morning regarding the express lanes being removed from the I-275 section, between Downtown and USF, show that public comment on major transportation issues is being heard and reacted to.

Mayor Lott was prepared to vote no on the letter, for reasons expressed at the last meeting, but supports the motion. For anything to happen in Hillsborough County, the BOCC must take a leadership role. He respects the County Commission and they work well with the community, but he is ready for them to step up and bring forward a plan to vote on and take action.

Commissioner Kemp spoke regarding opposition that she has heard to interstate BRT. She distributed information to members, and stated that she feels like none of her questions have been answered at any of the forums where she has been. She also stated that the letter should be addressed to Mr. Jeff Seward since Scott Pringle is no longer with Jacobs Engineering.

Commissioner Kemp made a motion to have a presentation at a MPO Board meeting on the market study for the region of the top commuter routes, which has been done at the expense of taxpayers. The motion was seconded by Commissioners White and Murman. Following discussion, the motion was passed unanimously.

Commissioner Kemp suggested the ridership expert from MPO staff present the requested presentation.

Commissioner White stated that MPO staff should decide the appropriate person to make the presentation.

IV. C. Health in All Policies Resolution

This item was pulled from the Consent Agenda by Commissioner White for separate discussion. He voiced concerns about potential impacts on local governments’ capital needs and operations. He would like to see Hillsborough County Administration, administration from the three municipalities, and the Planning Commission review the resolution and share their thoughts. He would like the information to come back to the MPO Board in the form of a report.

A motion was made by Commissioner White to send the resolution to the Hillsborough County Administration, administration from the three municipalities, and the Planning Commission to look at the land use and transportation linkage for potential impacts of costs, growth, and any other implications, and have the resolution come back accompanied by a report on the review for the MPO Board’s consideration. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kemp and Mr. Joe Waggoner and passed unanimously.

Key Information Points: We are 58% through the Fiscal Year with our target to trend as closely to that as possible

with expenditures.

Year to date operating expenses are at 61% of the annual budget.

Key Takeaways: Revenues are ahead of target due to timing of Ad Valorem receipts;

Operational Contract Services, even when normalized, is slightly ahead of the target at61% due primarily to timing of payments;

Other Expenses are exceeding the target due primarily to timing of tax collectorcommissions which are recorded as Ad Valorem revenue distributions are received;

Projected savings from implementation of Mission Max service redesign are trendingslightly less than expected, primarily due to parts and supplies and bus stopmaintenance. Also, new service was already implemented in anticipation of receiving anadditional $2.3 million in County funds, which contributes to the increase in Operatorpersonnel services.

HART’s cash is managed in two accounts; for the primary account HART utilizes the State of Florida’s local government investment pool, Florida PRIME, as its primary source of cash holdings. Considered low-risk and conservative in its investment strategy, Florida PRIME allows HART to attain a higher yield compared to that of a typical bank cash-flow concentration account. The second account is a concentration account at Bank of America for receiving deposits and managing Payroll and Accounts Payable disbursements. The graphic below depicts the cash on hand as of the day listed, as it is fluid and changes day to day.

Highlights • In the case of bus ridership, it is unfair to compare April 2018 to April 2017. The services

were reconfigured and it is a classic case of comparing unlike conditions. This report attachment has a new page Monthly Comparisons

In comparing FY 2018 month-to-month, we noted that the ridership has become fairly stable. The conclusion being that the trend toward declining ridership may be nearing an end. Productivity numbers are also beginning to rise.

• April 2018 streetcar ridership is up 2.8% compared to April 2017. Streetcar is down 2.1% year-to-date to the comparable period in FY 2017.

• April 2018 HARTPlus ridership is up 10.7% compared to April 2017. Taxi voucher service is up 7.0% compared to April 2017. Combined, HART Plus and taxi trips totaled 21,771 and represent a 9.6% increase from April 2017.

Cost per Passenger Cost per passenger is presented as non-audited numbers and subject to restatement. Cost per passenger can vary when presented as a single month because expenses encumbered will vary depending on items acquired and billing cycles. Year-to-date is more pertinent and the numbers will ‘smooth out’ as the year progresses and present a truer picture of actual cost. The table below is the FY 2018 comparison to FY 2017 for March:

Ridership and Productivity Reports On the following ridership and productivity report (Attachment), service is broken into three groups: local routes, express routes, and flex routes. Each group is ranked ‘first to worst’ for the current fiscal year in passengers per revenue hour. Routes in red are routes that fall 60% or below the average for their group. Routes in blue are routes that are 75% or above the average for the group. One cautionary note: local routes from FY 2017 to FY 2018 are not necessarily comparable. Most local routes were changed in the MissionMax process. For example, Route 9 in FY 2017 is considerably different than Route 9 in FY 2018 and comparing FY 2017 Route 9 to FY 2018 Route 9 are not true comparisons. In FY 2018 ridership comparisons to the prior year should be based on the aggregate or total count.
